republicans to our viewpoint on that subject. [cheers and applause] the united states has to accept its full responsibility for leadership in american affairs. we are the backers and the people that organized and started the united nations. first started under that great democratic party. the league was sabotaged by the republicans in 1920 and we must see that the united nations continues a strong and growing body so we can have everlasting peace in the world. we removed the trade barriers in the world, which is the best message we can have for peace. we have started a program which means that u.s., china, and the far east. we have instituted programs, and i will tell you that all these things were done in a cooperative, bipartisan manner. the foreign relations committees in the senate and the house were taken in the full house, and don't let anyone tell you anything else. as i have said time and time again, foreign policy should be the policy of the whole nation and not a policy of one party or the other. partisanship should start at the edge, and i continue to preach that through this whol

issue. he says israel is in discussions with the united states regarding the path forward. he pushed for a red line to stop iran, which he says will have what it needs to build a nuclear weapon by next summer. of course, iran has claimed their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only. the fox report's chief correspondent is work the united nations today. jonathan, prime minister binyamin netanyahu is portraying this essentially as a fight between good and evil. >>jonathan: he absolutely put iran in the evil bracket. he said the regime is essentially the face of radical islam and the iranian regime would like to return the world to medieval times and the rest of the world is aware that iran has been a global sponsor of terrorism. to the delegates inside the general assembly, he put a simple question. i ask you, given this record of iranian agression without nuclear weapons, imagine iranian aggression with nuclear weapons. imagine their long-range missiles tipped with nuclear warheads, their terror networks armed with atomic bombs. who among you would feel safe in the middle east?

in the united states. ohio. the republican candidate took note. >> welcome to cuyahoga county where we have more republicans register . we're going to deliver, too. so -- >> i need it in a big way, all right? >> he had a sense of humor, but he'll need more than just cuyahoga county to turn those poll numbers around. peter hamby joins me now. i know you had a chance to talk to strategists. what did they tell you? >> most republicans in ohio don't think the situation is that dire yet. they do acknowledge both inside the campaign and outside that they are losing and the main reason that the republicans in ohio point to is that romney doesn't really have a cohesive message and said this is why you should throw barack obama out and install me as president. the key issue is the bailout of chrysler and general motors that the president pushed through. they say romney hasn't been able to come up with a consistent answer to this and the obama campaign has been hammering on this. one republican i talked to put it very bluntly, a senior republican in ohio said that obama's advantage on the aut

. we both agree that is the ultimate goal. the united states has wanted to bring them to the negotiating table. that has not happened, either. the israelis are almost feeling as though both the mentality and the course of actions that the u.s. has taken and the west in general have been naive. >>shepard: factoring in is the fact that so many analysts with great experience and knowledge of the situation here are of the belief that you cannot stop this by bombing. it will take something else. >>reporter: right. that's tech did you want to look at that exact point look at the people of iran and what they are saying. right before mahmoud ahmadinejad got on a plane to come to the u.n. meeting, the people of iran, and i have been on so many blogs and twitter and facebook, where are we going? we have so many problems at home to address. you do not need to go to the u.n. and talk about world problems and reforming of the global community as has been repeated on interviews and the at podium at the u.n. there is so much we can focus in on here, talking about the economy back home in ir

remains. should the united states have known this attack on the american ambassador was coming and did the administration lie about intelligence that al-qaeda linked groups were responsible for his death for the past two weeks? representative mac thornberry is "outfront" tonight. good to see you, sir. >> glad to be here. >> i know this is an issue you care a lot about. you've spent time in mali in the past. you've been briefed on the situation in benghazi. at that briefing, were you told that al-qaeda linked groups were responsible? >> we always have to be careful repeating what we're told in classified settings, but basically, we were told something that goes along with its consistent with what the administration was saying publicly an that was that was a upon tan yous mob, got out of hand and there wasn't consequenc consequences. doesn't make much sense if you look at common sense. the fact it was 9/11. the fact it was a highly organized attack. that's before you get into the evidence it just didn't really add up. >> i remember asking that night. people on our program. 9/11. it can't

united states. but i think this is a reckoning time for president obama. the islamic world served notice on him. >> within these countries we are learning more about extremist groups that are not limit to al-qaida. we hear about others. who are they and how concerned about you on the impact. >> we should be concerned. the egyptian and tun and others that are concerned. they are concerned. we started redemption in libya. people went out and attacked sharia. and people look at these and they have to wonder if they want to live under the control of the celatres. they won 25 percent of the vote in egypt and the insanity among the ranks. they want to cover the pyramidses in egypt and don't want tourism and esset ra. in tunizia and egypt they have to be disciplined by the population itself as we have seen in lib yampt we can't do it from a distance or remote control. >> celafrees is growing in that country. t defends on the setting. what is troubling is the growth of the jihad . that is because we didn't go to the help syrian rebellion. the ruling wants help. and in egypt muslim brother

department of public safety, the state cops, standard procedure to position a unit in front of the vehicle and come up with a way to slow this guy down or stop it. lots of ways to do that. they have done it with spike strips. we have seen them do it with roadblocks. you would have to get way in front of this guy and shut down all the westbound traffic. then you would put other people in danger from the cars. i'm sure they have multiple options. a roadblock is not a good option. getting spike strips out in a situation like this, trace, it seems like it would be difficult. if this is not a reason to be able stop like a toll plaza or an off-ramp, that would be very difficult to do. trace the saying is, you can never outrun a radio. the police down the line are aware of where this is occurring. you talk about spike strips with the other cars on the road, and they are driving at 75 miles per hour, the last thing they want to do is risking another blow out on another vehicle. they do not want to throw a spike strip when someone else, even the suspect, is going 75 miles per hour to 100 mi

be against israel and the united states. there were some side blows, but i would say for the state usually is in, he was kind of mild. he wants to establish a new world order that he is suggesting with all countries being equal, everybody living in peace and harmony -- that is at least what he said, but if you go into details, it does not make much sense. >> the egyptian president also took to the podium today, saying he opposes military intervention in syria. how was his speech received? >> it was very well-received, and it was a very well structured speech. it was a historic moment. first democratically elected civilian president of egypt speaking in front of the general assembly. he touched upon all the important topics, including syria, but what might have come as a surprise to some was that his most important topic is priority topic, was one that was more or less neglected this year as opposed to last year, which was the palestinian problem. he said that was the most pressing problem in the world. criticized israel without mentioning it, that they oppose the foundation of a pa

reform, and in response to requests from both the government and the opposition, the united states is taking the next step in normalizing our commercial relationship. >> the u.s. move will be welcomed by the people of myanmar. opposition leader, currently visiting the united states called for easing of sanctions to support her country's development. jp kne japanese business officials are asking those in myanmar to improve their business environment. the chairman of the japan chamber of commerce led a delegation and met with a senior economic official. asking for swiflter measures to ensure stable supply of power and better framework for foreign investment, the senior official said he encouraged more investment from japan. he promise they'd would work towards making business easier for foreign firms. a >>> the iranian president, mahmoud ahmadinejad, . . that they will provide support in building hospitals. they also pledge to work to promote export to iraq and to train personnel to operate such devices. >> e will work with the japanese government to raise iraq's medical capabilities. >

relationship which the united states. "this is america" visits of the republic of kazakhstan. "this is america" is made possible by -- the national education association, the nation's largest advocate for children and public education. poongsan corporation, forging a higher global standard. the ctc foundation, afo communications, and the rotondaro family trust. later, i will talk with kazakhstan's foreign minister. right now, a visit with the u.s. ambassador to kazakhstan, kenneth fairfax. >> what should americans know about kazakhstan? >> i think the short answer is a lot more than they currently do. >> thank you. >> it is the ninth largest country on earth. it is a country that has a rather extraordinary relations with the united states, and yet most people really know either nothing or worse than nothing -- what they have seen in a movie, which is the opposite of reality, of course. there is a lot to learn. >> what are the mutual interests of the two countries, the united states and kazakhstan? >> we have many. you can look at it as an edgy, food security. lots of overlapping int

they have sworn to do and that is to support the constitution of the united states. when you are making laws, it is not your prerogative to put your party first. host: alright. mr. woodward. guest: as i pointed out in the book, there is scene after scene where the republicans show that they will not budge on some of these things. in their view, they are adhering to the constitution. in their view, they're doing what is necessary. but the key point is that speaker boehner is at least a nominal leader of the republicans in the house and open these negotiations last year with the president. they're all kinds of offers and discusons going back and forth on this. you can see the detail and you -- you may blameahaw obama or you may blame the republicans or you may blame me for writing this. but this is, if you will, the performance review. this is what we used to always call the best obtainable version of the truth. host: 1 last phone call for you. south carolina. caller: please let me stay few facts and don't cut me off. host: we don't have time for a few facts. caller: first, i want

here. yes he's risking a lot also in the. in the relationship between israel and the united states mainly for barack obama will be reelected then they matter now might face a real problem even though we don't know yet if obama in a second term will be any different than obama in the first but in any case there are many ways to get out of the tree or to continue the retore doing anything don't forget also that domestically and yelled most probably last in l.a. for it take namely the minister of defense barak who in the recent days or weeks sound all of a sudden different and then a three hour is really quite isolated even though mystically so all of this together will have to bring some kind of getting down of the tree and pulling. this thing keeping it because they totally good reason because saying that this served this well this two years of certainly spreading fear has to continue into. fire until something will happen you know do you think netanyahu is just terrified of obama second it ministration because of the bad personal relationship they have had and let's face it netanyahu snub

much time as you well know as the united states believes. what can we do to persuade prime minister netanyahu not to take preemptive action because there is more time, or do you agree there is more time for sanctions to work? >> i would agree with secretary clinton. i agree with that. additionally, the p5 plus 1 negotiations, i understand, have resumed. i think what needs to be done candidly and i have suggested this privately to the administration, i think we have to learn whether the supreme leader wants an agreement and if he does, what it will take. it may well be that the united states has to bilaterally step up and take use of this opportunity, to interface dir t directly with the supreme leader. i understand israel's position. i also know that the united states has been working hand and glove with israel, in many different ways, many of them classified, so there has been really unbridled cooperation with israel. so, i think we have done everything that we should be doing. >> and senator, just briefly, you're suggesting direct talks between the united states and iran if we cou

the great united states of america. governor romney was right last week when he out after the embassies were attacked in cairo. [applause] and condemned the statement that our embassy released. we have extremists coming over the walls of our embassy, and they are burning our walls and the department of state apologizes for people who have hurt the religious feelings of muslims. governor romney added exactly right. and he had it right the next day, too. [applause] although the administration's response to the crisis of the last 10 days or so has been appalling, anyone watching could not have been surprised. this president has made it clear he wants to bring america back, he wants to put us in retrieve. he has also failed to stand with our most important ally the state of israel. -- most important ally, the state of israel. governor romney has said he will stand shoulder to shoulder with israel and he will ensure through whatever means is necessary that iran, the world's leading sponsor of terror, is never allowed to obtain nuclear capability. [applause] so, when you are talking

for president of the united states. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] let me express my thanks to the historic slate of candidates who accompanied me on this journey, and especially the one who traveled the farthest, a champion for working americans and an inspiration to my daughters and yours, hillary roadham clinton. to president clinton. to president bill clinton, who made last nature the case for change as only he can make it. to ted kennedy, who embodies the spirit of service. and to the next vcht the united states, joe biden, -- vice president of the united states, joe biden, i thank you. [applause] [cheers and applause] i am grateful to finish this journey with one the finest statesmen of our time, a man at ease with everyone from world leaders to conductors on the am trak train he still takes home every night. to the love of my life, our next first lady, michelle obama. [cheers and applause] and to malia and sasha. i love you so much and i am so proud of you. [cheers and applause] four years ago i stood before you and told you my story, that the brief union of a

states of america for this purpose and when i can give to the united states they established as a position she ought. it was against israel and the usa our goal is to destroy them both. but i had a story of god of heaven and earth had a different story for me. [applause] when we can to the united states universities and colleges sending children where the playground we receive them and change them. we turn them against you. we met the professor and were helping the professors to establish purposely to change the world from within. we're changing the children to hate your nation with everything they've got with the money that he raised them with. while your children heed to the rules, america's left. i was on the bible belt and while i was doing this i met three men. they were christians and be want to the christian businessmen in group and took me to their homes and said i don't have insurance or anything to retire was introduced first on the word of god, and it was in the umar the word of god, you are the living god that blocks before humankind, mankind, and if you don't speak th

weaken our foreign policy? >> pretty much, i think no one really fears the united states in that region. they have basically discounted the american president and he goes to the united nations and says that bashar al-assad -- he said that 13 months ago, he is still saying the same things about syria. we have done nothing about this eerie intensity and things are what they seem to us. cheryl: one thing he has done with the issue of syria, he has put hillary clinton as the face. mostly she is not going to be a secretary of state. do they know that in the muslim world? do they see her as a credible person? >> i'm glad that you took us there. secretary of state quinten stop in south africa and there was a scene of her cutting a rug on a dance floor in south africa. people look at this as ridiculous. secretary clinton has been running the clock on the syrian people. we do nothing about syria. if we do want to help them, we would on them. we went with them. we would come to the rescue. we just want them to wait. cheryl: but maybe the russians to that, doctor. maybe the russians are stepping i

. there is no nuclear weapons program, according to 16 united states intelligence agencies in 2007, reaffirmed in 2011. even the israelis are now saying we think the americans were right. they don't have a nuclear weapons program. the ayatollah has said nuclear weapons on iran's part would be immom, unjust and unislammic. so why are we now considering talking about a war on a country to he dehe prior it of weapons of mass destruction it does not have? >> the big news out of netanyahu's speech is he reaffirmed the fact that israel has no intention of attacking iran before the november election. i think there was concern that there'd be this november surprise. and i think that the intelligence agencies in this country and in israel agree that iran has not made the decision to go nuclear and what netanyahu wants to do is if they get close, he wants a preemptive attack. let's talk about it after the election. i think netanyahu's attempts to insert himself in american politicses have backfired. >> to pick up pat's point, you may be correct. >> there is already a black line. >> the reaso

to the united states state department likes to say many things and i think that's precisely because. to be very aggressive in their foreign policy towards certain countries in particular although i think they have the whole goal in my love to be a global vision monic power. the nonaligned movement now is one hundred percent coming together to resist this kind of aggression to resist this kind of double standards and hypocrisy and i think that's probably really thinking of the united states this finds. so the summit in tehran resulted in a declaration stating every nation's right to peaceful development and he said nuclear energy seen as a backing of iran's controversial nuclear program it came just as a new report by the un atomic watchdog emerged accusing the islamic state of stepping up its you've remained richmond and jew political analyst eric draitser the timing of the release shows the only a anything but unbiased the iranians first of all they believe that they have the inherent right according to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty that they have the right to have a nuclear

, crude and nasty movie made in the united states and released on you-tube, "innocence of muslims" it's called. it depicts the prophet mohammed as a dope, a fraud, a pedophile and womanizer >> jon: it's you-tube. i mean nobody pays attention to you-tube. why not have some fun with it. that will be the last we hear of it. what's that now in >> u.s. embassies and continuesate las under siege in middle east. africa and even asia. this map shows the unrest spreading to more than a dozen nations. >> jon: i see. that brings us to tonight's segment, actual democalypse. all this destruction and bloodshed was over a dumb internet video made by some [bleep]. and promoted by... ( applause ) ... and it was promoted by the koran-burning florida pastor terry jones. i believe we have a clip of him as well. >> a very naughty boy. now go away. >> who are you? i'm his mother, that's who jon: i'm being told that is a very different terry jones mocking a different world religion in a film that has been round for 3 years. well, that must be a lot of burned embassies... really? none at all. fair enough. look

place among our united nations. >> the president also said that the united states will do whatever it takes to stop i ran from developing nuclear weapons to regional we believe that there's time and space to resolve this through diplomacy. but that time is not unlimited. >> republicans are criticizing the president for not holding meetings with foreign leaders vowed he is here. the white house says that the president speaks to heads of state on a regular basis. republican presidential nominee mitt romney delivered his own foreign-policy address across town at the clinton global initiatives. >> if there's one thing we learned in this election season it is that a few words from bill clinton can demand a lot of good. >> mitt romney said that he wants to change the u.s. foreign aid system, requiring countries that take development money to remove trade barriers and allow u.s. investments. >> we will couple need with trade in private investment and partnerships to empower individuals, in courage innovators, and rework entrepeneurs. >> mitt romney said that these reforms could bring stab

had a tough message for iran. >> and that's why the united states will do what we must to prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. >> he also had a clear message for the muslim world when it comes to insults against islam and freedom of speech. get a thicker skin. >> as president of our country, and commander in chief of our military, i accept that people are going to call me awful things every day. and i will always defend their right to do so. >> well, clearly, the president felt he had important things to say. now, you'd think he would be eager to expand on them one-on-one with some of the key players, some other world leaders, face-to-face. this is, after all an explosive moment on the international scene. this week, nearly anyone who's anyone happens to be here in new york. president obama took off from new york today having held precisely zero formal face-to-face meetings with anyone, none, with the exception of a quick word with the president of yemen, who was meeting with deputy national security advisor john brennan. he skipped the traditional luncheon, leaving the u

question, when we talk of united nations in this context, whom are we talking about? is it the member states who take the decisions, who give us a mandate, who give us the resources required to carry out the mandate, or sometimes not give us the resources to carry out the mandate, or are we talking of the sectat secretaryat or the secretary-general. the u.n., your government and mine, and it can be as powerful as these governments want it to be, and sometimes we talk about the n., as it, they, distancing ourselves. by doing that, we're giving the governments who are ultimately responsible, for action or inaction in these situations, an alibi, an alibi and blaming the secretaryat and the secretary-general. one of my predecessors used to say we oftennen refer to the secretary-general as sg. and he said sg doesn't stand for secretary jan, it's scapegoat. there is a scapegoat function of the u.n., but member states and the media have to be very careful not to dump on us so much that we won't even be useful as an alibi because, really, when we talk of the failures of somalia, of rue

policy. you know, when saddam went into kuwait and the united states was able to round up all those friends, a lot of that had to do with the personal relationships that george bush senior had established over time, and people give you the benefit of the doubt when there's skepticism. look at the distrust that exists between netanyahu and president obama on that very issue alone. we could have a conflict with iran that sort of comes through just the two people not having a very good personal relationship and maybe misreading each other. i think these things are very, very important in international diplomacy, especially in the middle east. >> critics of governor romney say look, he's done his share of light interviews but it's a different, i mean, the standard for somebody campaigning who is not in public office and somebody who is president of the united states is very different. >> it's very different. look, you get the benefits. one thing that people forget is when you have a foreign crisis, when you have foreign issues, the president has an enormous benefit against his challenge

here in new york city, the president of the united states is at u.n. laying out his vision. mitt romney, the republican nominee was lay out his vision, they could not be more different in terms of what their vision is, in terms how to deal with this. the president made clear not just iran but to broaden it out with what happened in libya, he made clear, i can't dictate what is happening on the ground. >>neil: why appear on "the view" to make it look worse that you are detached. >>reporter: he is trying to project an image of, what, me worry? i'm calm and cool. >>neil: four years ago any presidential election, george bush in his election effort in 2004, we were knee-deep in iraq and the war was raging, he was meeting with foreign dick -- dignitaries left and right. >>guest: he was trying to project a united front around the world. i will figure this out. i'm tough on national security. >>neil: but last year, president obama was meeting with a host of people. the year before, a healthy host of people. >>guest: they are not saying it is driven by politics. we are a few weeks from re

talk of the united nations in this context, who are we talking about? is that the member states who take the decisions, who give us a mandate, who give us the resources to carry out the mandate or sometimes not give us the resources to carry out the mandate or we are talking of the secretariat and the secretary-general? the u.n. is us, your government and mind and it can be as powerful as these governments want it to be. and sometimes we talk about the u.n. as they distance themselves by doing that. given the governments who are ultimately responsible for action or inaction and some of these situations, an alibi, an alibi and blaming the secretariat in the secretary-general. one of my predecessors used to say that we often refer to the secretary-general as sg for short and since sg doesn't stand for secretary general, it's for scapegoat. [laughter] >> host: you were the scapegoat in chief. >> guest: exactly. it was the scapegoat function of the u.n. fed the member states in the media have to be very careful not to downplay it so much that we wouldn't be useful as an alibi because re

about human rights and rule block. >> host: he spoke about day in the united states having a reflective reaction against any palestinian utilization of the united nation nations. do you think america is standing in the way of a broader peace effort in the middle east? >> guest: i don't say that america is winning in the way. what i can say is that it will require a sustained and determined effort by the u.s., working with some of the countries in the region and partners to bring about peace in the region. it has not been sustained. in fact, i'm not sure that i can say that there is a peace process today. i think the u.s. has such a pivotal role to y. both parties look to you as leadership in the u.s. it there is times when they looked to see if one had gotten very close. it was when president clinton was trying to get a solution. working day and night. at that point, it seemed very close. since then, we haven't been that close. and they haven't been giving a real effort, and there are people who are now beginning to wonder about the solution, then it's not evaporating, that t

nuclear weapons. we begin with the former president of the united states bill clinton in conversation with me and my colleague at cbs nora o'donnell. >> rose: do you think this election the president has said that change has to come from outside rather than in washington, that this election has the possibility of producing a change that will be able to overcome gridlock. >> i don't think it to the only has the possibility, i think it almost certainly will. and let me explain why. i think the president's going to win but let's assume governor romney won. if he wins, that almost certainly means the republicans will hold on to the house and it will be about 50/50 in the senate, more or less the way it is now. you can't filibuster a budget. it's the only thing that doesn't require 60 votes in the senate to pass o as opposed to 51. so a lot of the policymaking will be pushed into the budget and he'll just have to pick up one or two people on that. if you assume that he is going to do what he said he's going to do, i think a lot of his priorities will be enacted. and i think it will be bad

human rights and rule of law. >> host: you criticize the united states, particularly in this area for having what you call a reflexive reaction against any palestinian. this the two palestinian that. >> host: it utilization of the united nations. do you think america was standing in the way of the broader peace effort in the middle east? >> i cannot say that america -- i don't say america is standing in the wake. what i can say is that it will require a sustained and determined effort to buy the u.s. working with some of the countries of the region and europe to bring about peace in the region. it has not been sustained. in fact, not sure i can say their is a peace process today. and i think the u.s. has such as a pivotal role to play. both parties look to other u.s. leaders. there were times when it looked as if one had got very close. and president clinton was trying to get a solution working day and night. at that point he seemed very close. this was 2000, run there. says that we have not been that close, and there have not been a real effort to get the parties together. there are

us to do. >> rose: so the united states government and egyptian government are friends, not enemies? >> ( translated ): we are not enemies, of course. >> rose: you're our friends? >> ( translated ): for sure we are friends. >> rose: allies? >> the u.s. president said otherwise. >> rose: i know he did. but i'm asking the egyptian president. do you consider the united states an ally? >> ( translated ): this is depending on the definition of an ally. we have a real partnership in the interest and we want to achieve the interest of the world and to participate in many issues-- diplomatic, political, economical-- exchange of expertise in several areas. so the understanding of an ally as a part of a military alliance this is not existing right now. but if you mean by ally, partner and special diplomatic relationship and cooperation we are that ally. >> rose: president morsi for the hour. next. >> tonight a special edition of charlie rose. >> rose: mohamed morsi won an historic election this june to become the fifth president of egypt. he is the first civilian to hold this title. two years

their-- they did not accept what happened from some of the citizens of the united states who offended the prophet mohammed-- peace be upon him. there was also somebody who wanted to burn the koran and this is something we do not accept at all. so the demonstrations were an expression of a high level of anger and a rejection of what is happening and the u.s. embassy represents the symbol of america as a people and government so people, the demonstrators, had a loud voice and as a government, it's our responsibility as the government of egypt we protected the embassy. we do not condone any attack against any embassies or any guests. this is a part of our principles and culture and what our religion orders us to do. >> rose: so the united states government and egyptian government are friends, not enemies? >> ( translated ): we are not enemies, of course. >> rose: you're our friends? >> ( translated ): for sure we are friends. >> rose: allies? >> the u.s. president said otherwise. >> rose: i know he did. but i'm asking the egyptian president. do you consider the united states an ally? >>
